Ingredients

  • 1 ½ pounds chicken thighs
  • 1 batch peanut sauce
  • ½ cup unsweetened coconut milk full fat, in the can
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon sambal
  • 2 teaspoons fresh cilantro chopped
  • 1 clove garlic grated
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger grated
  • ½ teaspoon Turmeric

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Cut the chicken thighs into bite size chunks and add to a bowl.
  2. In a small mixing bowl, add in the coconut milk, lime juice, Sambal, cilantro, turmeric, garlic and ginger. Whisk together until well combined.
  3. Pour the marinade over the chicken and mix thoroughly, making sure all the chicken is coated. Cover and allow it to marinate in the fridge for 1 hour.
  4. While the chicken is marinating, you can make the Peanut Sauce. If you're using wooden skewers, this is a good time to start soaking them in water.
  5. Take out the chicken and leave it at room temperature while you heat up your grill pan or outdoor grill.
  6. Add the chicken onto the skewers, then grill for 5-7 minutes on all sides, or until it reaches an internal temperature of at least 165°F when checked with a meat thermometer.
  7. Serve with some Easy Peanut Sauce for dipping.

Notes

  • If you prefer to use chicken breasts, you certainly can.
